press "start testen" at the end then calculate using 15 spread while this isn't a professional test (as specified), it's the by far best internet test i have taken. I also took a test for the army where they didn't give us a specific iq, just a score from 1-9. (however I did hear that only 2% get 9 which would make it about the equivalent of 130+)  one of the annoying things about iq is how many people have no idea what spread their iq test was using. if it is a reputable test, the spread should always be included, because the numbers are so significantly different. (130 on 15 spread equals 148 on 24 spread.. ) pretty much every single internet iq test is just plain bullshit tho and while I certainly believe that the tl.net average iq is higher than average, and also the fact that people who score highly on iq-tests are the ones who are likely to both press this kind of thread, as well as submitting their answers to the poll, 44% of the site being among the 2% smartest is obviously bullshit nothing groundbreaking psychologically about discovering that everyone puts themselves in higher regard than what should be the case tho. | ||

I think people need a quick clarification of the IQ scale so they understand what your IQ means. The IQ scale is designed to be a normal guassian distribution with 100 being the mean and 15 being the standard deviation. This means that the average person would have an iq of 100. Due to the way the guassian distribution is done, 68.2% of people fall within 1 standard deviation of the mean. Meaning that 34.1% of people are between 85-100 and 31% of people fall between 100-115. 26% of people fall between 1 and 2 standard deviations from the mean. So 13% of people have IQ of 70-85 and 13% have IQ of 115-130. Finally, 4.4% of people are outside 2 standard deviations from the mean. Meaning that 2.2% of people will have an IQ of over 130 and 2.2% of people will have an IQ under 70 | ||
